Report about the general assembly 2010
|
|
On Saturday July 17th, 2010, our annual general assembly took place in the
Hotel Reinisch in Schwechat near Vienna. This year the general assembly
commenced after the first exhibitor and steward seminar of KKÖ. Due to the
heatwave these days fewer members accepted the
invitation, despite the comfortable temperature of 23 degrees in the assembly
room.
After the welcome of the members and the statement of the quorum, the approval of the agenda of the current assembly and the minutes of the general assembly 2008 passed and afterwards the board gave its reports.
In the last show year KKÖ held three double shows. The shows in Schwechat and
Bregenz showed a high visitor interest as well as a high cat inscription
rate. The third show in Wr. Neudorf was well visited, but ended with a negative
result.
In the area of the pedigrees, KKÖ reached 2009 nearly a new record of issued
pedigrees. The major contributors were the Maine Coon with
appr. 50%, the British, the Norwegian forest cats and at the first time the holy
Birman were the second largest breed with appr. 15% each.
The amount of members were stable in 2009.
Due to the absence of the treasurer Mr. Fister, the board gave a overview about
the financial activities in 2009.
One auditor Mrs. Negulescu stated, that the KKÖ shows a negative trend in
financial results during the last years.
The board of KKÖ reject this statement as unsustainable, as even the slightly
negative result in 2008 was followed by a positive result in 2009 with an
additional increase for the donation towards the cat shelter (Katzenheim
Freudenau).
The president, Mr. Preiss, appreciated his gratitude to all which helped during
the shows, the members of the board and to
all which are not in a official function. |

The auditors Mrs. Ioana Negulescu and Mr. Michael Szaraz examined the
books. The auditors recommend to discharge the treasurers Mr. Alfred Peikert for the period from
January 1st, 2009 until July 25th, 2009 and Mr. Robert Fister from the
period July 26th, 2009 until December 31st 2009.

Afterwards the discharge of
responsibility of both treasurers for the respective period mentioned before took
place.
Finally the discharge of responsibility of the executive board took place. The executive board would like to thank for the great confidence of the members of KKÖ. |

period of two years: |

As in the last year there were no members for the show commissions proposed.
The board will compile a team depending on the show location.
|
As there were neither proposals from the board nor from the
members the general assembly could be closed rather early and the present
members continued with the summer buffet 2010.
